Answer:
8 bags of pretzels
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the number of bags of pretzels Tim buys. We assume he spends exactly $20 on exactly 12 bags of snack food. Then his purchase is ...
1.50x + 2.00(12-x) = 20.00
-0.50x +24.00 = 20.00 . . . eliminate parentheses, collect terms
-0.50x = -4.00 . . . . . . . . . . .subtract 24
x = 8 . . . . . . . . . . divide by -0.50
Tim will buy 8 bags of pretzels.
Mm dont know but keep trying
Since x=-10, plug that into the equation.
f(x) = 2(-10) + 11
= -20 + 11
y = -9
So the ordered pair in (x,y) terms is (-10,-9).
